Great repair on the driveshaft,it's not my favourite job doing gaiters always end up covered in c.v. grease. Totally agree with you about buying special tools,i use a pair of long handled pincers to fit gaitor clips as well. Porsche know how to charge for parts dont they😮 Good luck with the rest of the project.

Great video - I see lots of videos on the subject where the lower ball joint is seperated however you don't appear to need to do this - am I correct?

Correct yes. Avoids potentially damaging the gaiter on the ball joint. Having said that undoing the inner boltnmeans you need to redo the wheel alignment and potentially the inner bolt could be siezed. I was going to redo the alignment and I knew the inner bolt wasn't seized. So both options have pros and cons

@@vintagesteelgarage Thanks for the reply - can I ask why the wheel alignment needs adjusting? I'm probably missing something but toe is adjusted via the steering arm and camber/castor via the top strut mount - neither of which are changed. The inner arm is a fixed, non adjustable pivot, is it not?

@@Otto-AutoPilot the inner bolt is offset so will affect camber. Of course you can mark the bolt to put back in same place. I have had these seized and had to cut out on the rear of the 911 and front of 986.
